A method of reducing anxiety in a subject. In some embodiments, the method includes the steps of: providing an audio input to the subject, the audio input including a sequence of tones in a frequency range comprising about 100 Hz to about 8000 Hz and having intensities adapted to audiometric parameters of the subject; producing a plurality of actuation signals correlated with the audio input; delivering an actuation signal of the plurality of actuation signals to each of a plurality of electrodes in contact with a tissue surface of the subject's body to provide tactile stimuli to the tissue surface; and reducing anxiety in the subject.

Method and apparatus for treating a neurological disorder

An apparatus for use in treating a neurological disorder of the auditory system, including a sound processing unit, an audio stimulation unit and a somatosensory stimulation unit. The audio stimulation unit includes an input for receiving the modified audio signal from the sound processing unit. The sound processing unit includes a processor operable to analyze an audio signal and generate a modified audio signal and a plurality of actuation signals therefrom representative of the audio signal. The somatosensory stimulation unit includes an array of stimulators to apply a somatosensory stimulation to a subject, and an input for receiving the plurality of actuation signals from the sound processing unit and directing individual actuation signals in a predetermined output for delivering an audio stimulation to the subject.

Apparatus and method for treating a neurological disorder of the auditory system

An apparatus for use in treating a neurological disorder of the auditory system, including a stimulus generation unit and a somatosensory stimulation unit. The stimulus generation unit operable to analyse an audio signal including a first component comprising a broadband or white noise component and a second component including a plurality of complex tone bursts, and generate a plurality of actuation signals representative of at least one of the first or second component of the audio signal and further to spectrally modify the audio signal to generate a binaural modified audio signal for delivery to a subject. The somatosensory stimulation unit includes: an array of stimulators to apply a somatosensory stimulation to the subject with the modified audio signal, and an input for receiving the plurality of actuation signals from the stimulus generation unit and directing individual actuation signals in a predetermined pattern to individual stimulators in the array.
